Mashed potatoes and gravy are an integral and symbolic dish of southern United States cuisine. It is most likely that it originated in this region. The fact that it originated in the US is currently not disputed.

What stores carry paradise valley instant mashed potatoes?

Some sites say "Honest Earth Creamy Mash" is the replacement. Just tried it do not bother not even close! I, too, tried the "Honest Earth All Natural Yukon Gold" mashed potatoes. They are duplicating the packaging and preparation instructions, but they don't turn out as good as the Paradise Valley brand. Mine always came out with little crunchy specks of undissolved potatoes which never happened with the PV brand. The Honest Earth brand is made in USA by Idahoan Foods. Costco does not handle it anymore in Western Canada anyway
